Scribesmeister v4 (In Zero Gravity)

Contrary to what you read about women in magazines, the word “shopping” doesn’t really excite me. I don’t know about you, but I have never really felt relaxed when shopping especially during the holiday season when every place is crowded. Haha! Unlike my sister, I really can’t stand roaming around the malls for hours bouncing from one shop to another, trying out clothes and waiting in line for a new stock. I only shop when necessary and oftentimes, I just order stuff online! LOL! I’m actually scrimpy with my own needs. But when I’m with my nephews and they want me to get them something, sometimes I don’t think twice. But if it’s for myself, I’d probably think it over a hundred times. It’s either my mind is debating on whether it is worth my money or I am not sure if I have enough money to buy what I REALLY want. I could be picky. If I buy something for myself, it means I really want it and I can’t wait for someone to give it to me! Haha. Well, I am not even an impulsive hoarder so you cannot expect me to buy piles of clothes (and leave most of it hanging in the closet for months before I use it), numerous pairs shoes or whatever. Though it’s highly possible to see me pushing 5 carts full of groceries, with cans of beer and bottles of wine, out of the supermarket twice a month.

Anyway, you must be wondering why I am rambling about these things… Well, it’s because I have to go shopping! I’m just glad that I just have to worry about my little nephews and some of my godchildren. You know, I wouldn’t want to deprive these kids of the happiness in getting presents during Christmas. Most of them have associated Christmas day with gift giving and since the adults can understand that gifts could come anytime before or after that day, I’d go shopping on the 26th for them! LOL! Or I could just treat them out if they don’t dig gifts anymore…like my parents.

So, hold on… *sneaking out* I’ll get back to you later.

I can’t believe I just spent thousands on a Transformers toy for my nephew! I know, I know - it is impractical! But he’s been such a good boy and you’re just too indifferent if you could resist that charming smile - heartless even! LOL! After that, I bought some clothes for my other nephews ’cause I love to dress them up. Oh no, not like Barbie dolls, okay? Haha!

Then after that, we headed down to my favorite stopover - the supermarket! On top of everything else, my main mission was to get the ingredients for my pasta recipes! And here’s the news: they’ve already ran out of basil and parsley, as expected and they don’t even know what a rosemary herb is. Wahh! So I really have no choice now but to stick to my Carbonara and Spaghetti and anchovies in tomato sauce (this is something new which I got to try). I’ll also take care of the tacos. As for the rest of the ingredients I bought, it’s up to my Mom what to make out of it. Not my problem anymore. Haha!

Anyway, do you want to know the best thing about our trip to the supermarket? Alcoholic beverage/wine tasting! Haha! Got us a little tipsy and it made me load up my cart with some, hmm..*secret*..but hey, I’m okay now and I didn’t regret buying it even if it ate half of my budget for groceries. Haha!

Look how happy I was…

Ooohh, wow! Haha!

Could I get another shot, please?
